Win Me computer will not boot. Computer froze during a CD copy...turned off system.
Now it will not boot HardDrive, FloppyDrive, nor CdDrive. Previosly had not changed anything...but I did swap the RAM, to no effect.

Powers up, Keyboard lights flash normal, Floppy Drive does not flash, CdRom Flashes, spins a little, then nothing displayed on monitor. No beep errrors during POST, unable to get in BIOS settings.

Any ideas what's going on?

Did it actually say "Boot Failure" on your screen? This happend to me one time when my computer froze and restarted. What I did was go to BIOS and restore its defualt and unplugged the computer.

After a while it sucessfully booted.
